Hi from Canada! I know we're still ages away, but I'm excited to start googling "how to fix an engine" and "10 common breakdowns with auto rickshaws" in preparation. Or else doing the ultra-important checklist items like designing our team logo and picking team colours.
When a thrill-seeking Canadian travel writer and her resourceful, problem-solving partner sign up for a 2200+ km rickshaw race across the Himalayas, you know things are about to get interesting. Kristi, who thrives on the unknown, sees the Rickshaw Run as the ultimate adventure. Alec, on the other hand, prefers his chaos confined to cyber threats—not brake failures on cliffside roads.
But love (or perhaps sheer madness) has a way of bridging extremes, and now they’re squeezing into their glorified lawnmower, braving monsoons, mountains, and mechanical meltdowns. While Kristi chases the thrill, Alec is prepared for every possible disaster—until the road inevitably throws us something completely unexpected.
